Reflection

Anyone who drinks the water that I will give will never be thirsty again.

Human wants and desires are confused;
we want happiness and look in the wrong places;
we’re like the woman at the well,
looking for happiness in a place we can’t find it,
and open to the love Jesus offers:
Anyone who drinks the water that I will give will never be thirsty again.

I thank you Lord, for faith,
for the roots of my life which nobody else can give;
I thank you for a meaning in life
which makes me strong from birth to death;
I thank you for the Eucharist
which nourishes all life’s moments;
I thank you for forgiveness
which means I need never stay stuck in faults.

Thank you for this living water:
Anyone who drinks the water that I will give will never be thirsty again.
